Anti-ICE protesters were sprayed with tear gas and rubber bullets by no-nonsense federal authorities as night fell outside an immigration detention center in Oregon.

Hundreds of masked protestors descended on the streets of PortlandĀ and marched on the local ICE facility on Wednesday night, railing against Trump’s deportation agenda.

Federal agents worked quickly to deploy flash bangs, rubber bullets and tear gas when the demonstrators tried to block law enforcement vehicles from entering and exiting the facility, according to video captured byĀ Turning Point USA’s Frontlines.

Protests have ragedĀ on the West Coast for more than a week after pro-immigrant demonstrators wreaked havoc in Los Angeles and sparked widespread protests around the nation.

On Wednesday, demonstrators marched with signs readingĀ ‘Nobody is illegal on stolen land’ and ‘Protect immigrants and refugees’ while wearing Palestinian keffiyehs and taunting authorities by rolling a dumpster in front of the ICE entrance and refusing orders to disperse.

Even more law enforcement officials were stationed on a rooftop, and shot non-lethal weapons from above, raining down on the agitators in the crowds.Ā 

More officers decked out in riot gear emerged, closing in on the remaining demonstrators and blasting them to tear gas, which ultimately caused them to retreat.

The Department of Homeland Security considered it crucial to clear the space surrounding the facility to ensure several government cars could exit safely.

‘Last night, Portland rioters violently targeted federal law enforcement — 250 rioters launched fireworks, shined lasers in officers’ eyes to temporarily blind them and stormed an ICE field office,’Ā Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News.Ā Ā 

‘Ultimately, five individuals were arrested on various charges including assault on federal law enforcement. We won’t sit idly by and watch these cowards.’

She added that assaults on officers have jumped an extraordinary 413 percent.

‘Secretary Noem’s message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down.

‘ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law.Ā 

‘And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’

Opposition to ICE and Trump’s deportation agenda culminated on Saturday in nationwide ‘No Kings’ protests to coincide with Trump’s military parade over his birthday weekend to celebrate the Army’s birthday.

They marched with signs reading 'Nobody is illegal on stolen land' and 'Protect immigrants and refugees', wearing Palestinian keffiyehs and taunting authorities by rolling a dumpster in front of the ICE entrance and refusing orders to disperse

Organizers of the ‘No Kings’ demonstrations said millions had marched in hundreds of events, and Portland was no exception.

Frustrated residents within the protest zones hunkered down and placed signs on their windows begging demonstrators not to vandalize their homes.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, where the violence began a week prior to the No Kings protests, thousands gathered in front of City Hall, waving signs and listening to a Native American drum circle before marching through the streets.

National Guard troops and US Marines were deployed to regain control of the region after days of ongoing violence.
